    I meant more like pre-make your vocal loops by doing a straight recording of them, and then load the recording into the CF card.
    Otherwise, what mic are you using? have you considered going with something with a cardiod pickup pattern rather than omnidirectional?

    Thanks for your suggestion. The thing is that I improvise the music so need to record as it is happening–it is not possible to pre-make vocal loops.
    I’m using a U87 and have it set in the cardioid pattern but it still picks up the sound because the distance between the mic and the 2880 is only about 3 feet (singing and pushing buttons at the same time.)

    minus ten decible pad for the mic?
    or have someone else run the looper from a separate room?
    chop the loops by hand [after recording them to whatever] and load them into the 2880?
    I mean, I think you’re picking the hard way of doing this.

    Thanks for your thoughts…I could try the ten decible pad… Having someone in the other room would be nice but would be more complicated (especially if I feel inspired at 1am!) Editing out the clicks afterword could work except that if I am soloing over top, the clicks would be cutting through that as well. I have also considered getting one of those u-shaped mic shields (not sure what they are called) but they are not cheap.

    If you can send midi messages from an Ipad I don’t see why not.

    Yes, I’m hopeful there. I was just wondering if anyone out there had tried this or found a particularly easy program and interface (have read about some latency issues with some.) Some programs seem overly complex for what I want to do (and I have not programmed a midi controller before…
